LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau suggests 9/11 families should forgive Saudi Arabia: 'Nobody's perfect'

[tenderfoot]

"I think we’ll never be able to repay the families back for what exactly happened just over 20 years ago and what happened is definitely horrible," he told CNN. "I think as time has gone on, 20 years has passed, we’re in a place now where it’s time to start trying to work together to make things better together as a whole.

"I don’t know exactly what they’re feeling. I can’t ever know what they feel, but I have a huge amount of respect for their position and what they believe. Nor do I ever what anything like that to ever occur again.

"I think as we move forward from that, we have to look toward the pathway to peace and forgiveness, especially if we’re trying to mend the world and make it a better place. I think this is what they’re trying to accomplish, LIV is trying to accomplish, PIF is trying to accomplish. We’re all trying to accomplish is a better world for everybody with entertainment for everybody around the world."



"It’s unfortunate what has happened and something I can’t necessarily speak on. I’m a golfer," DeChambeau added. "But what I can say is that what they’re trying to do, what they’re trying to work on is to be better allies because we are allies with them. I’m not going to get into politics, I’m not specialized in that. What I can say is they’re trying to do good for the world and showcase themselves in a light that hasn’t been seen in a while.

"Nobody’s perfect, but we’re all trying to improve in life."

DeChambeau reportedly got a $150 million signing bonus to jump ship from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf. He was among the group that cashed in, while others like Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods remained loyal to the Tour despite reportedly receiving nine-figure offers as well.

1. DeChambeau can go fuck himself with a bone saw.

[RT Atlanta]

12. Seriously...

talk about being tone deaf.

The sauds and their golf and country club buddies and fuck right off.

Blood money is what the saudis (terrorist funders) are seeking to 'sportswash.'

[Spazito]

2. Translation....

I got mine, fuck all of you.

[rurallib]

7. he's a whore who is trying to make it look respectable.

Wait til he sees what Kushner got from the Saudis.

[Spazito]

9. If that's what he was trying to do, it was an abject failure....

and he comes off as a craven asshole living high on the same Saudi money that was paid to those who killed thousands on 9/11.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Scum

[leftieNanner]

4. I understand that Congress is looking at the PGA's tax exempt status

That should be a no brainer.

[hatrack]

5. Microns deep and as thoughtful as a shoehorn . . . .

What an asshole.

[dalton99a]

6. Another high-priced Saudi whore

[nycbos]

8. I think we should have invaded Saudi Arabia after 9/11...

... Instead of Afghanistan and Iraq. If you want to talk about people who finance terrorism Saudis write the biggest check.

[Hekate]

20. Prince Bandar was so close to the Bush Family that Barbara called him "Bandar Bush" ...

It was two generations of family ties — so tender. Couldn’t invade Saudi Arabia. Had to deflect. Remember Dubya saying of Saddam Hussein, “He tried to kill my daddy.”

[Solly Mack]

10. Trying to do good for the world? Golf is a good deed for the world?

Is he going to tell Jamal Khashoggi's family to get over it too?

[Boomerproud]

11. I don't recall the Saudis ever asking for forgiveness.

Just bank your money and shut up.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. He's An Idiot

He's always been an idiot & he'll always be an idiot.
What moron reporter even asked him a question about anything but the golf swing?
He's got nothing to say worth hearing.

[Bristlecone]

14. He can fuck right off. Seriously F that guy

[YDogg]

15. Bryson DeChambeau sounds like an immoral asshole.

[area51]

16. Lucy speaks:

[Trenzalore]

17. Yes

Killing a journalist in a foreign embassy surely shows they have changed their ways

[phylny]

19. Exactly this.

[ellie]

18. Fuck this asshole.

[Ilsa]

21. If Bryson really respected 911 families,

he would have kept his fucking mouth shut.

[turbinetree]

22. Hey DeChambeau.. I challenge you to a debate literally.......I was affected by 9/11 along with the

families that lost loved one.

I was an aircraft maintenance Technician at United Airlines that lost my job at United along with others after 9/11, I worked on the plane that crashed in the PA countryside that left Liberty International Airport I waved of the crew for departure that was going to SFO, I and thousands of others still remember

I saw the smoldering waste of smoke coming up along the Newark Bay where the two towers use to sit when I came back into the work that night you have no comprehension as to what I feel for what happened that day and you have know idea what the families feel, or the firefighter families, emergency responders families, police that were lost because of that act, or the men and woman that lost there jobs on the American planes or the workers that lost there jobs at American or the families that lost loved ones and there livelihood, like myself and others at United .......you and the PGA and "all" of the players that play now are really nothing more than scum.... you and the PGA really have no principles none......so your organization the PGA can bite me ......

[Hekate]

23. Dear Turbinetree...

[turbinetree]

25. Wado................thank you

[sarcasmo]

24. That's the new LIV golf talking point. Idiots!

[aocommunalpunch]

26. What a fucking asshole.

Fuck all these entitled pricks. They're not "trying to improve in life" whatsoever. They're trying to be entitled, ignorant fucking wastes of oxygen. Again, fuck all of them and their bigoted, rich man's "sport".

[MagickMuffin]

27. LIV spokesman DeChambeau loves himself some terrorist money

‘Hey, I mean just get over it snowflakes. 9-11 was over twenty years ago I mean come on, nothings gonna bring back your dead loved ones. Open your loving heart and arms to those Saudis, they’re really into providing the world with so much beautiful entertainment in golf!’


This Saudi golf tournament is just another way to launder money.

[gratuitous]

28. What was your price, Bryson?

Did the Saudis overpay? You don't sound like much of a human being, so I can't imagine your humanity would be worth much more than a fin or a sawbuck.
